Manchester City have already impressed with this season with six goals from two victories but Liverpool have been slow from the blocks with just two points from a possible six following draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace.

Chelsea and Tottenham – who played out a feisty 2-2 at Stamford Bridge last weekend – both look strong as do Arsenal who have also enjoyed a fast start with wins against Crystal Palace and Leicester.

Manchester United currently prop up the table after their home loss to Albion was swiftly followed by a 4-0 thrashing at Brentford.

Everton are also without a point in the early stages and Southampton have also looked off the pace in their opening matches, despite fighting back to claim a point in a 2-2 with Leeds.
